Eddie, Robert and Chris, I am so sorry to hear about Sandra's passing. We were so very close for so many years and my heart is heavy with grief on learning this news. As you know, my daughter, Sandy, was named after her. She loved all three of you more than life itself. Please know my prayers and thoughts are with you at this time.

I am so sorry, Robert and Chris. I know what a wonderful person your mother always has been. She and I have been friends since school. In fact, she and Eddie grew up down the street from me.
I wish there was something I could do to help take away some of the hurt.
May God Bless each and everyone of you.
Sandra is out of pain and suffering now.
She has her own guardian angel watching over each of you
